Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay opened up about a "painful" loss n TV.

The star spoke to Australian TV show The Project about the death of his colleague and long-time friend, Master Chef's Jock Zonfrillo.

He broke down in tears as he described his feelings, reported the Sun.

The Scot said: "The ripples have been devastating. No one's going to get over this quickly.

"If there's one thing that we've done as chefs is we've united and we're talking about the good times. 

"S**t, sorry. It's just so painful, that's all."

As the Glasgow Times reported at the time, the family of Jock Zonfrillo revealed the sad news via a statement last week.

It said: “With completely shattered hearts and without knowing how we can possibly move through life without him, we are devastated to share that Jock passed away yesterday."

The Project ran a special tribute to the star yesterday.
